About
Maes Meillion is a detached property of traditional construction, set beneath a slate roof in the heart of the village.
It enjoys stunning open countryside views, along with spectacular views of the Cader Idris mountain range.
The property is presented in excellent condition throughout, with the current vendor having undertaken extensive improvements.
These include the installation of a new kitchen, a new heating system, full redecoration, and the creation of a self-contained annexe.
Additional features include oil-fired central heating, uPVC double glazing, and underfloor heating within the annexe. Externally, the property offers ample off-road parking to the front.
To the rear, the garden has been thoughtfully divided to provide private outdoor spaces for both the main house and the annexe, with both front and rear gardens designed for low maintenance.
The main house has been registered and successfully operated as a holiday let since May 2021. The annexe, created in 2020, is currently rated Band A for council tax.
Both areas have separate entrances, allowing them to function independently or as one unified property.
The accommodation briefly comprises: Main House: Entrance hallway, downstairs WC, sitting room, kitchen/breakfast room, utility room, dining room/sun room, three bedrooms (one en-suite), and a family bathroom.
Annexe: Accessed via a concealed door from the main house hallway, comprising a bedroom, en-suite shower room, and an open-plan kitchen/sitting room.
This versatile home offers a range of potential uses.
It would appeal to buyers seeking to live in one part while generating income from the other as a holiday let, those requiring multi-generational living, or anyone wishing to reinstate it as a single, substantial family home.
